Stupid Cupid

You: Arrow
            Arrow-Cupid misplaced
Pleased, I am
              To validate this man

Basically: Pleasingly loved
                     “Apple of my eyes”
Heart-hanging from doves
                     My lullaby

I would take that bullet
                        For you
Sacrifice My all
                        For this
Make Him wane
                        For us


Now, am I but dust?
                    That sea sluiced away.
Shall on no account, again
                     Cupid’s arrow stay
